The Airbus A321 plane landed safely, but with its door still open, at Daegu airport in South Korea at about 12.40pm (0340 BST) after leaving Jeju island an hour earlier, the airport’s flight schedule showed.

No one was injured but nine people were taken to hospital after suffering from suspected hyperventilation, a Daegu fire department official said.
